I usually start this out by asking if anyone has anything to report. The first report is in! Thanks jon.
Any news to report from tonight's agenda meeting? I heard the following has made the agenda for the March 26 board meeting - whose theme should be "We've learned nothing, except how to punish anyone who disagrees with us or tries to tell us things we don't want to hear":
1. Hiring law firm Curtin & Heefer to review Dr. Yonson's contract;
2. Replacing Solicitor Robert Kelly;
3. Replacing the district's insurance broker.
Attempts were also made to put on the agenda the ~$200,000 in repairs to the Middle-High School that failed in a 3-3 vote at last month's meeting. But Robin Reithmeyer pointed out that the rules say this (and other items that failed at last month's meeting), can't be put back on the agenda for 3 months. Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules!
Can't wait until everyone takes the "How to be a School Board Member" class at taxpayer expense - then things will be just grand...
Let's watch the rules get speedily changed at the next meeting in item 4a so that the repairs can be done in item 4b. It's school safety! Don't you care about the children?? *sigh*.
Wasn't the Emperor "doing lunch" with the insurance broker candidates mano-a-mano last month in violation of board rules? Did anyone call him on this?
Anyone else? Anything about the survey? Anything about the $2.4 million dollar toilet flush? Anything about Marlys and her magical writing skills?

Correction - the solicitor's name is Thomas Kelly, not Robert Kelly. Sorry about that.
I am not terribly surprised that they are going after Dr. Yonson or Tom Kelly. I saw it coming, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing. In fact, it just plain sucks.
First they came for the solicitor, but I was not a lawyer, so I did nothing.......
When the school board and administration came for the special education children with IEPs,
I remained silent;
I was not disabled.......
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
Watched some of the 3/12 agenda meeting on the tube last nite. In addition to:
1. Hiring law firm Curtin & Heefer to review Dr. Yonson's contract;
2. Replacing Solicitor Robert Kelly;
3. Replacing the district's insurance broker; and
4. Attempting to revive the ~$200,000 in repairs to the Middle-High School that failed at the 2/27 mtg.,
attempts were also made move forward on hiring a "facilities director" at taxpayer's expense, of course. Dr. Yonson strenuously objected, because it would be a totally superfluous expenditure, what with the job already in Business Mgr. Reba Dunford's hands.
I've gotta go check the definition of "squandered" again....
